Appsheet should naturally get tied with G Suite services and product as the time goes by, which is basically “No Doubt”. I believe you app creators would agree with it.
Google Chat should be one of the service G Suite users are broadly adopting to their day to day jobs on the enterprise basis. It should be common needs “How to integrate Appsheet app with Google Chat”?
Bunch of people should have been implemented this integration, but I tried it out with my app, and found it was super simple and easy. To share my experiences for those who would seek a solution toward the future. (this is also my own memorandam…)
1. Get the “End point” URL from your Google Chat Rooms.
Beatifully simple. Go to your Chat room and copy the URL.
Go to your chat rooms you want to submit messages. And hit the Manage Webhook
2. Just copy the URL
3. Go to Appsheet editor, workflow and past the URL you copied.
Note
Workflow settings.
- Preset Custom
- URL One you just copied
- Verb POST
- HTTM Content Type JSON
- Body – JSON
Simple JSON!
{
“text”: “<<[FieldNameYourWantToPassFromaRowToGoogleChatRoom!]>>”
}
–
Beside that, you simple set up workflow as usual, when and how to “fire” the workflow as you wish.
Thank you Appsheet team, to make it and our life super simple and easier!!!
According to Google API documentation, we could do lots, sending message to chat room with card view etc. Should be a fun.

Please try it out and kindly share your own experiences and tips you find.
We have had native connector on webhook set up for Slack even before Appsheet become google cloud team, so I suspect this integration should be come much more simpler, but until then we just set up in this way, but still easy.
